Authoritative Parenting Styles

An individual’s life and success is most dependent on their family environment and how they were raised. Good parenting is essential for a child’s educational and behavioral success and is a stressed trait throughout the world; however, in different cultures, good parenting can be defined and measured in many contrasting ways. In the United States, parenting and discipline methods have become controversial in the past fifty years, and the methods for raising children have drastically changed in some households.

A fixed mindset is when someone believes the abilities you are born with are the ones you will always have, and they cannot be changed. Children who possess a fixed mindset are likely to attribute their success to pure luck and their failures to ability or lack thereof. This is also known as learned helplessness. Children with a growth mindset, however, have a contrasting perspective. They believe abilities can be improved over time with an input of effort. They attribute their success to their abilities and their failures to variables that can be easily altered. As I have mentioned in the past, I fall under the authoritative parenting style. Because an authoritative parenting style is firm but caring and encouraging, I have cultivated a growth

The authoritative parenting is the healthiest and most effective parenting style to help children doing well in academic, social emotion, and behaviors. These parents have high expectations on their children. Meanwhile, they have high standards on their own behaviors, such as be calm, kind, and patient to their children (Lloyd, 2016).

Moving is hard. Growing up in the same place, in the same house, with the same people for you whole life and then having to be torn away to move to a new city is a hard thing for anyone, especially children. Riley Andersen, a twelve-year-old girl from Minnesota, goes through a big move when her father gets a new job. Riley and her family have to move to San Francisco, California, moving away from her community, her friends, hockey team, and everything else she has ever known. Her and her two married parents experience stress, unhappiness, and how Community shapes children. Community is a place for a person that involves a neighborhood and the area that surrounds them. Children develop by creating close bonds with people in their community, through things like school or a sports team. (CITE BOOK) The children also develop based on the quality of the neighborhood surrounding them. If the community is a good, wealthy community, a child will most likely partake in sports and good activities; however, if the community is poor,

• Authoritative parenting is attentive to their children’s needs and will typically forgive and teach versus punishment for the child’s short comings. The result is the children have a higher self-esteem and independence. This is most recommended parenting style by experts.

B. tend to develop a heavily planned networking group that allows them to get in touch with the best tutors, contacts, and acquaintances

Kiadarbandsari, Madon, Hamson and Mehdinezhad Nouri expressed that authoritative parents display warmth and positive behaviors while setting strict rules and boundaries (2016). Authoritative parents and their children develop the healthiest relationship because of the support and discipline that these parents show towards their children (Chang, 2007). In these authoritative relationships, the child is encouraged through positive behavior. This helps the child develop a high self-esteem while building confidence. In terms of education, authoritative parenting is the most motivation parenting style. Authoritative parenting yields high academic success in adolescent children and progresses later through adulthood (Strage & Brandt, 1999). Abiding by the five C’s, authoritative parenting promotes an adolescent child’s competence, confidence, caring, connection and character. Therefore, authoritative parental styles yield the highest level of PYD in children (Kiadarbandsari, Madon, Hamson & Mehdinezhad Nouri,

This study explored the relationships of authoritative and authoritarian parenting styles college students received during childhood, love-oriented rewards, object-oriented rewards, and the student’s academic success. The statistical analysis that will be used to preform this study is a two by three; within subjects two-tailed ANOVA to determine the significance between groups. The question at hand, does different parenting styles (authoritative and authoritarian) associated with reward (love-oriented and object-oriented) affect academic success, will show a significant affect. Authoritative parenting style is predicted to show a high response rate to a love-orientated reward while authoritarian parenting style is predicted to show a high response

An authoritative parent 'operates on the belief that both the child and the parent have certain rights and that the needs of both are important. The parent is sure that she is in control and doesn't need to assert physical force to keep the child on the right track. Rather, an authoritative parent is more likely to control her child by setting rules and explaining why these rules are important and why they must be followed'.

When it comes to being a parent there are many ways a parent can raise their child or children, for example there are four types of parenting styles which are authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and uninvolved. The authoritative parent are characterized by having reasonable demands and high responsiveness. Authoritative parents are strict on their children, but they are very loving, warming, and supportive towards their children by listening to their child opinions, encouraging independence, expressing warmth and nurturance, and encouraging their child to discuss options. (Reference: Rathus S.A. (2014).Psych.GengaqeLearning) Authoritarian parents are like authoritative parents except they are extremely strict almost like military, and authoritarian parents are very unforgiven by have strict guidelines towards their children without any tolerance for disobeying.

more likely to get into trouble. It is commonly believed that with no supervision or control of a high school student, there is a higher risk of getting into substance abuse.

As with most other individuals, I grew up under two parenting styles: authoritative and authoritarian, which created a highly disciplined environment that for the most part worked when I think about substance abuse, behavioural problems, etc. However, there are aspects of this strict parenting that did not work well, the biggest being the transference of values. Both authoritarian and authoritative parenting has a goal of instilling particular values as a way of promoting independence, strength, etc. (Hickman, Bartholomae, & McKenry, 2000) but in my case, and in the case of some of my peers this enforcement of values becomes cloudy in the way that it’s transmitted such as the use of intimidation, physical discipline, rigid rulemaking, etc.

Authoritarian parenting style has an impact – either positive or negative – on children’s social and emotional development. Authoritarian parents generally raise children who are obedient and proficient because they are trained to be one when they were little. Moreover, Marsiglia et al (2007) states that “Children and adolescents from authoritarian families tend to perform moderately well in school and to be less involved in problem behaviors than children and adolescents from permissive families”. They are able to control aggressive impulses and not coercive toward parents (Patterson, 1976, as cited in Singh, 2007)

2.) In order to produce guilt, a teacher who intervene's with a student who has been teaching a classmate must induce feelings of disappointment or remorse by that student by making them believe they have violated a personal moral standard or hurt another human being. The teacher might say things such as "I am very disappointed in you." or "You should have known better than to do this." In order to promote prosocial behavior, a teacher who intervene's with a student who has been teaching a classmate must attribute the child's prosoical acts to their personality. An example given in the lecture stated to say "You are a very caring person." instead if vaguely saying "That was a nice thing you did." This gives the child the opportunity to

The authoritative parenting style is the “In between,” of both the authoritarian and permissive parenting styles, and has a “Give and take approach.” Authoritative parents are very involved in their children’s lives: children help around the home and in decision-making processes, and homework is supervised. This approach to parenting raises children who are responsible, well behaved in school, have a high self-esteem, and good problem solving skills along with decision making skills. The authoritative approach to parenting has very positive effects on children’s lives presently, and in the future. (Marsiglia, C.,Walczyk, J., Buboltz, W., Ross, D. 2007).
